Moving disk to other machine.

I sucefully installed new arch linux kernel and initrd to an old debian sarge machine. It works but I have problem. I wanna move disk from machine where I installed it to another so I simply removed that disk and put it to computer next to it. The other machine stops on error 'Root device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.' Error. Unable to determine minor/mayor version.

Then I am in recovery busy box and may type exit or try to unsucessfully mount /dev.  Also after exit it gives me advice that I may specify kernel parametr rootfstype. That dont help also and simply that disk work only on first computer.

Thanks for any advice.
Edit.
Uhh. I used fallback kernel and it works. sorry for dumb question.
